Rutabaga
Rutabaga is a cool-season root vegetable with a round, yellow-fleshed root and purple-tinged skin. It has a firm texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a subtle cabbage-like character.
Rutabaga becomes sweeter as it matures and is particularly well suited to roasting, mashing, soups, and hearty winter dishes. It can be eaten raw when young and tender, although cooking is the more common preparation.
